2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger electrical powered truck

[Western Slope]

Ram is coming out in 2025 with an electrical powered truck.

Range Sucks When Towing with Electric Trucks, but Not with the 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger

The Ramcharger’s dual-electric-motor drive system is fed by a plug-in battery and a 3.6-liter V-6-powered generator to deliver a claimed 690 miles of combined range.

It sounds good.

Hybrid is the answer until EV batteries have a major breakthrough in capacity and charging time. Especially in anything bigger than a small commuter car.

Going to have to solve the cold weather range/fuel economy loss on both hybrid and EV's or they'll remain to be used as City commuter vehicles.

Hard to say. It is probably more of an issue when towing. But for the non towing application it’s not a big deal. We do road trips in winter and it doesn’t really change things much for us. We grew up learning to always drive in the top 2/3 if “the tank” in winter just to be prepared for long highway blockages etc. For us it involves an extra 15 minute charge stop on a typical 6 hour road trip. We are fine with the extra pee/coffee stop. Some are fine with that. Others not.

But yah. Towing is a different world. We tow a lot with our EV but never in winter as we are fair weather campers. 😂
